Reflecting our programme’s joint approach, we have organised a lecture series introducing EMGS students into the diversity and complexity of „doing Global Studies“. This course is obligatory for students at Ghent University and an additional offer to non-Ghent students, who can follow it online.

The course is organised as a lecture series with specialists from all EMGS partners and therefore an excellent opportunity to learn from each other, discuss ideas and innovations in the field. The course starts on 22 September, the link to the video conference will be shared soon.
